    Good evening, Trojans. This is principal Matthew Price with your weekly announcements.

     

    First, this is a reminder that exams begin next week. All students will need to restart their Chromebooks to ensure the latest updates are loaded. Additionally, students taking EOC tests are reminded that they must bring their Chromebook and charger to their testing site next week. The exam schedule is located on the GMHS website for everyone. Students are reminded that they should not attend school during exams unless they have a scheduled exam. 

     

    Senior Awards night invitations have gone out in the mail. The event begins at 6:30 pm on Thursday in the auditorium, and all invited participants (students) must be here by 6:00 pm.

     

    Tomorrow night is our Spring sports awards night. All athletes who competed in Spring sports are invited with their families to attend. The event will take place in the gym and will begin at 6:30 pm. Tomorrow is also signing day for all senior athletes who have not already had a ceremony and who have signed up for a time slot. Any questions please contact Coach Harris crharris@wcpss.net

     

    If your student is not returning to Garner HS and not attending a Wake County school for the 2025-2026 School year, please email Ms. Warren at nwarren@wcpss.net 

     

    Juniors, if you have received the 2nd dose of the Meningococcal shot please drop off your updated immunization record to Ms. Warren in Student Services. You are required to complete this by October of 2025. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Warren. 

     

    If you have moved you need to make sure your updated information is on file with Mrs. Burkoski and Ms. Warren. It is important that you are receiving all correspondence from us as we prepare for next school year.

     

    Please continue to check your student’s PowerSchool Parent Portal Account for grade and attendance updates.

    Good evening, Trojans. This is principal Matthew Price with your weekly announcements.

     

    Thursday will be our last 8-period day. We are really getting down to the wire, so please make sure that you begin checking today about missing work that can be turned in on Thursday. 

     

    Monday is a holiday. We will return to school next Tuesday for exam review week. Exams will begin the following week (June 2). Please see the GMHS website for the exam schedule.

     

    Senior parents: We have heard of several plans for “senior pranks” that may be upcoming these final two weeks. Please be reminded that anything which is distracting or disruptive to the school environment, especially as students prepare for end-of-year and final exams, will be met with likely suspension from school and will jeopardize seniors’ ability to participate in senior events, including graduation. I encourage each of you to finish up school with the appropriate decorum. Seniors, you know better. Make sure you do better.

     

    Seniors must return all library books and chrome books to the media center by June 10th in order to receive tickets to graduation.

     

    All underclassmen are encouraged to return any library books they have checked out by June 2nd. 

     

    All students need to update their chromebooks to ChromeOS 133 or higher.  School devices checked out to teachers need to be updated too.  This needs to be done before testing begins, not on the day of testing. 

     

    The Chorus Department's Pops Concert is Wednesday, May 21st. Enjoy our final performance of the year featuring all four choirs and honoring the Singing Seniors of 2025! The concert begins at 7pm, tickets are $5.00. 

     

    Yearbook Pick-up will start on May 21 until May 30 at the concession stand during lunches. Yearbooks may be purchased on the day of with cash or check while supplies last. 

     

    Parents, if you ordered Graduation signs from our PTSA and have not received them yet, please have your student stop by the front office after school for pick up.

     

    These are all the announcements that I have for this week. I hope everyone had a great weekend, and GO TROJANS!
